PHILADELPHIA SPRING SHOW. 



The main hall was well filled with a 

 good collection of spring flowers, 

 mostly hyacinths, tulips and daffodils. 

 All tiie best of the newer varieties 

 v/ere shown in excellent culture, and 

 the competition between the different 

 gardeners was very keen. The princi- 

 pal prize winners were: P. A. B. 

 Widener, gard. Wm. Kleinheinz; Thos. 

 P. Hunter, gard. Joseph Hurley; 

 John W. Pepper, gard. Wm. Robert- 

 son; C. B. Newbold, gard. Samuel 

 Batchelor; George H. McFadden, gard. 

 David Aiken. 



The center of the hall was well set 

 oft by two good-sized groups of flower- 

 ing plants— the Robertson group con- 

 taining wistaria, azalea, anthurium, 

 genista. Cineraria stellata, hydrangea, 

 acacia and Farquhar rose — all beauti- 

 fully grown specimen plants. The 

 Kleinheinz group contained genista. 

 Pink Pearl rhododendron, Boronia 

 elatior, Marie Le Graye lilac. Acacia 

 Drunimondi and Azalea Indica alba — 

 the latter one of the most striking 

 specimens ever seen, being 5 ft. high 

 and 6 ft. diameter and one mass of 

 bloom. 



Other features of the main hall were 

 well-done lots of the newer varieties 

 of pink and white spireas; splendid 

 specimens ever seen, being 5 feet high 

 and 6 feet diameter and one mass of 

 bloom. 



Other features of the main hall were 

 well-done lots of the newer varieties 

 of pink and white spireas; splendid 

 lots of Easter lilies andcallas; a grand 

 showing of wallflowers from Robertson 

 in all colors and flne big specimens 

 nicely flowered; standard heliotrope, 

 fine pots of Primula obconica and lily 

 of the valley. The front of the stage 

 was, as usual, devoted to offerings for 

 the Dreer prizes, which called for a 

 quite different and very interesting 

 class of plants and proved of flne edu- 

 cative interest. These exhibits cover- 

 ed excellent specimens of such things 

 is Iberis sempervirens, iris of sorts, 

 hardy ferns, spireas, hardy pinks, 

 snowdrops, dielytra, polyanthus, ane- 

 mone, etc., and a fine showing of 

 hardy roses in pots. 



A plant of Amorphophyllus Rivieri, 

 five feet high, was exhibited by Capt. 

 S. R. Vaughan, of West Philadelphia. 

 Dreer had a good display of lawn re- 

 quisites and a picture gallery of 

 dahlias and gladioli, also spring sug- 

 gestions. Michell's trade display was 

 confined mostly to lawn mowers and 

 lawn grass. All the premiums were 

 put up by the following well-known 

 seed houses: Hosea Watcrer, Henry 

 F. Michell Co., and Henry A. Dreer. 

 The judges were Robert Craig, A. B. 

 Cartledge, Chester Davis and William 

 Graham. 



The Lord & Burnham gold watch 

 was awarded to William Robertson 

 for his group of flowering plants. 



John H. Dodds sent in a handsome 

 lot of carnations on the second day, 

 not for competition, but to show they 

 were still alive around Lyndhurst. 

 They were extra fine flowers, and 

 proved a great attraction.
